You think outing people who are not out is a "Crude joke?" It's absolutely ****ing disgusting. Trump wrote legislation for an executive order that would see people be fired/denied basic rights due to being LGBT (it doesnt look like he will sign it), yet you think it's a joke?
Given that he is a massive provocateur im willing to bet he was joking. How was he going to out gay people then? Run around offering gammys then post of list of everyone that said yes?

Has he outed anyone at the places he has spoke at? theres been quite a few.....


Trump is an arsehole. What has that got to do with what we are talking about?
02-05-2017 , 06:57 PM
He wasn't joking. He has done it before. Please, just do basic research before defending your opinion so vociferously.

see, I dont think so. it doesnt make sense. its not logical.

this has been discussed a lot on this forum (and a ton of other places) and it just doesnt pass the smell test.

I just can not see ppl lashing out againt sjw by becoming racist and supporting racists. unless, ofc, they already had those tendencies.

his act is so unreal transparent that it is truly offensive that he thinks anyone on this forum is dumb enough to fall for it.

Shower thought time. This is probably obvious to mostly everybody, but wasn't for me - I consider myself relatively knowledgeable about politics but haven't had much interaction with political online trolls / just ignore them, normally.

I was thinking about how they are soundly losing every argument they're getting into and yet don't get discouraged at all when it hit me: They aren't truly losing an argument just like a 419 scammer doesn't truly lose a scam victim by mentioning they're from Nigeria right off the bat: Anybody who's put off by the wealthy prince being from Nigeria wouldn't have sent any money to Nigeria down the road, anyway - so they weed out those people instantly and only focus on the vulnerable. You probably see where I'm going with this.

The normal posters aren't their target audience. The trolls themselves might think that lurkers are the audience, but even that's not the core. Just read any of those threads and picture yourself as having no opinion on the issue. You're not gonna be convinced by those trolls and their transparent tactics, much less antics. They are their own audience.

Trump only needs 60 million voters. I've read those "rules for conservative trolls" they use or however it's called. That ****'s not working on normal people, except getting them mad over its stupidity. But it gives the trolls a "purpose" and the feeling of being part of something bigger / a grand plan. Look at how unusually often they quote each other with variations of "this is a great post!" or "you've got it, man!" but never once in history convincing anyone who wasn't on their side, already.

It's a cult. Jevoha's witnesses get sent out to recruit new followers, yes, but at least as important is keeping the existing members busy with the good struggle. IS terrorists don't actually want the West to convert to Islam. Trolls aren't here to convince anyone, it's just busywork so they stay in line and indoctrinate themselves further.

Then you say:


But if racism exists, then isn't it an advantage not to be a member of the race that is discriminated against? The term privilege is probably not the best descriptor because it causes confusion. What it means is that being white gives one an advantage, all other things being equal. It does not mean that a poor white person is better off than a black millionaire.

Maybe the terminology here is part of the problem. "White advantage" might be the better phrase to use.
I believe that if you are born white then you are more likely to be privileged so its not like I dont think that race is a factor.

Its the way that alot of these SJWs use privilege as a absolute. If your born white your privileged , if your born black your not. If they used it with more nuance I would have less of a problem with them using it.

Like those black collage kids who are moaning like they are second class meanwhile they have way more privilege than a white person born in a trailer park. If they acknowledged their own privilege then I would be more inclined to listen. So no its not so much the terminology that is the problem but the way in which it is used and applied.

Racism does still exist obviously and always will but im seeing plenty of racism towards white people at the moment as well. I do think that historically the US was a white supremacists country and it still effects the black community today. Now I do believe the vast majority of people are not racist and I might get some heat for this but I believe that there are probably more racist black people than white people at this moment in time. Obviously this is not because black people are more inherently racist but more so because of the oppressive history of white people. Im basing this on the amount of **** white people posts iv seen on twitter and amount of **** white people videos iv seen on youtube so maybe its not the most scientific assumption but just my general feeling.

Your own logic is flawed though as you assume that if you support Trump then you are a racist. This is false.
02-06-2017 , 02:54 PM
Racists cheer trump and his policies, a host of supremacists. Who and how does one stand out from that crowd and not cheer with them and still support trump? You're not cheering his policies with them? Just cheering him?

Not in the way that they are using the term. And keep in mind that they are not talking about specific people, but about entire races.

If they "acknowledged their own privilege," they'd be talking about something else.

I doubt it. If you look at polls on interracial marriage, black people are more accepting of it than white people, but not by too much. And of course racism/prejudice against black people has far more of a negative impact than the other way around.

It seems he did not "out" gay people or out trans people. I thought you were accusing him of "outing" gay students that hadnt come out yet.

He did however put a photo of a trans student up on a slide and mock her in a presentation. Which is obviously unacceptable and a pretty scummy thing to do and I cant fault a university for not allowing him to speak after that stunt.

A few university banned , oh sorry , i mean didnt allow Ben Shapiro to speak accusing him of hate speech which is pretty ludicrous.

I still stand by my statement that I believe the SJW movement has a very worrying authoritarian streak behind it. As I said before though I think that lots in its movement are well intentioned as well.

Jordan B Peterson a collage professor in Canada who has studied authoritarian and fascist regimes has been a very outspoken opponent of the movement and has drawn parallels between the two.

Some of the stuff iv seen or heard about has been pretty outrageous such as black students requesting not to stay in accommodation with white students or white people being told at rallys to shut up based on the color of their skin. Or the assertion that you cant be racist towards white people.

But they are using the term with in absolutes with zero nuance. Which is dangerous as it leads to student asking for people of color only safe spaces and black students asking not to be housed with white ones. Or the Berkeley protests where they protested that their safe space wasnt big enough and stopped only white students going to class and allowed only minority ones through.

I think it would be important to acknowledge your own privilege if you want to get your point across without coming across as a brat with zero self awareness and stopping people speaking based on the color of their skin.

And yes I agree with your last point. That doesn't make it acceptable or to deny that racism against whites is possible.

For more on the actual events involving Justin Kramer... https://gendertrender.wordpress.com/...n-kramer-case/

Male-bodied persons have no business in female-segregated spaces. Actual women understand the reasoning and are pushing back against the likes of Justin being granted access while still packing peen...on occasion, the conservatives like Milo will speak up and point out why it is stupid to allow obvious males to be in spaces like locker rooms and other changing facilities.

It's not difficult.

Trump supporters can't do it, obviously, because they lack the faculty of empathy, but... that's why they're Trump supporters.

Youz guyz keep on doing this. Who are these SJWers, who do they happen to be? What is evidence this alleged organized 'movement'? You z guyz just keep on skipping over this detail, and keep spewing about the dastardly deeds these mysterious SJWers allegedly do.

You wanna sound the alarm... I get it. These mysterious SJWers need to be stopped you say, else heaven help us. But when we ask you just the simplest of simple Qs about your theories: who's behind them, why, how does their magic work... you all universally disemble.

Just like any other conspiracy theory.

I think Milo was within his rights to critisize him on his position. But pulling the guys picture up in front of everyone was bang out of order.
